Ohio REALTORS® voice support for passage of the First-Time Home Buyer Savings Act
May 2, 2019
Ohio REALTORS® President Anjanette Frye offered the profession's strong support to Senate Bill 139 -- Ohio's First-Time Home Buyer Savings Act -- during a press conference on Tuesday at the Ohio Statehouse hosted by the bill's sponsors Sen. Theresa Gavarone (R-Bowling Green) and Sen. Bob Peterson (R-Washington Court House). The measure, the top legislative priority for the REALTORS® organization, will allow future generations to overcome the challenge of attaining the first rung of the housing ladder, by giving families the opportunity to put money into a tax-free savings account for their loved ones for the future purchase of a home in the state. Ohio REALTORS® understand that homeownership:
- Strengthens our communities;
- Helps build generational wealth; and
- Stimulates our local and state economies.
